Math Games Galore!

Students are playing a game called "Spend $1.00."  They are using coin mats to make trades and the 100 chart to help them subtract easily.

A student is recording subtraction equations as the dice are rolled to determine how many coins to subtract from $1.00.

"Math makes me smile!"

A student proudly shows her work!

This game is called "Roll a Square."  Students are asked to do mental calculations at the end of each turn.  This game helps them to visualize numbers in tens/ones to help them internalize place value concepts.

Soon students are able to say, "42 cubes are left!" just by glancing at the rows of cubes covering the 100 grid instead of needing to count each row separately to arrive at the total # of cubes.

Math is always fun!

Check out our Second Grade Data Analysts!

Students sort and classify Yekkttis, a group of fictional characters related by common sets of attributes, as they play Guess My Rule with Yekttis.

These mathematicians are practicing how to sort data, (Yekkttis)  into categories.

This student is choosing 2 labels, or attributes.  Next he will ask his 2 friends to sort the Yekkttis pictures according to his labels.

These students are checking their data to make sure we created an accurate line plot of the number of teeth lost.  We found out that the students lost a total 125 teeth!

"Time" for Some Mighty Math Fun!

We made up stories involving telling time.  For example, "If we started lunch at 11:30, and we ate for 30 minutes, what time would we be finished eating?"

Students are telling time with their bodies!  Both of our arms or clock hands are straight up, so it is 12:00.

Students are using cubes to check their work!
